Beschreibung

In Aldous Huxley's "The Burning Wheel," the author intricately weaves a tapestry of philosophical inquiry and social critique, exploring the existential dilemmas of modernity through a rich allegorical framework. Written during a time of great political and technological upheaval, the prose reflects Huxley's distinct literary style, characterized by its lyrical quality and penetrating insight. The narrative deconstructs the cyclical nature of human suffering and the relentless pursuit of enlightenment, thereby situating itself within the broader context of early 20th-century literature that grapples with the repercussions of industrialization and the quest for meaning in an increasingly mechanized world. Aldous Huxley, renowned for his prescient exploration of dystopian themes, was profoundly influenced by his background in philosophy and his experiences in a rapidly changing society. His early exposure to the sciences, combined with a deep interest in Eastern philosophies and psychoactive substances, informs the multifaceted exploration of consciousness in "The Burning Wheel." Huxley's position as a leading intellectual figure of his time uniquely equipped him to bridge the gap between literature and pressing societal issues, providing readers with both entertainment and profound insights. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a thought-provoking examination of the human condition. Huxley's ability to navigate complex themes with both elegance and precision makes "The Burning Wheel" an essential addition to the libraries of those interested in philosophical literature and critiques of modern life.

    I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander—pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
    One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
    Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
    In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
    In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times, and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
    You can, too. 
    Peace & flowers. 
    Love & light.

    Levi: Life as an NFL player has always been fast-paced, but nothing prepared me for becoming the guardian of my godson, Duncan. With his grandmother contesting custody, I need to prove that I'm a steadfast influence who's not going anywhere and there's one sure-fire way to show that: get engaged. 
     
    With my not-so-secret crush Georgie on board to play the part, we tell ourselves it's a practical solution. But when I see her connection with Duncan, I see a different side of her that I didn't know existed and I only want more. Could this fake engagement be the real deal? 
     
    Georgie: When my best friend needs a fake fiancé to prove he's a stable guardian for his godson, I jump at the chance. Does it help that I also have a huge crush on him? Probably . . . but now, as our fake relationship blurs the line between reality and what's pretend, I start wondering if this charade could lead to something more. 
     
    Then the unthinkable happens. A huge misstep on my part, thanks to my big mouth, leads to a major slip-up and I manage to jeopardize everything––including his custody battle. Will this mistake cost me the chance at true love I've been waiting for?
